The Everest II and the PrismPlus!
are both available as
AutoPrinters. In the
AutoPrinter configuration,
each printer is mounted on
Rimage Producer series
robotics - providing
extremely fast and reliable
operation. For ease of
access to the bins and for
ease of access to the
printer, AutoPrinters are
configured without covers or
cabinets.

Both AutoPrinters come with
a copy of CD Designer:
CD designer is an
easy-to-use application
providing the ability to
create, import and customize
the graphics that will be
printed on the CD or DVD
surface. CD Designer enables
easy adding of background
colors, additions of custom
text, photos, mail-merge
data and even bar codes by
clicking and dragging within
the simple CD Designer user
interface.

Supports 22 main types of
bar codes including two UPC
variants and the four
regional codes of the
Australian mail system -
this is powerful software!

AutoPrinters come equipped
with a 400-bin carousel.
This carousel has a 300 disc
input capacity with the
remaining bin used for
output. When the first input
bin is empty it becomes the
second output bin, and so
on. In this manner, an
AutoPrinter can print up to
300 discs without a single
operator intervention.

AutoPrinters come with
Rimage's state of the art
Producer series robotics.
These robotics are driven by
a closed loop servo motor
system and a reinforced,
toothed belt. The picker
rides on roller bearings and
slide rails and takes only 2
seconds per movement. The
picker is steel and will
pick from a plane of 85° -
95°.

Both AutoPrinters come with
CD Designer, software to
create the artwork for your
discs and to drive the
printer. CD Designer has a
complete set of file import
capabilities, text creation
capabilities, object
creation tools, bar code
generation and more.

For optimum throughput, ease
of use, and support that is
tops in the industry -
Rimage AutoPrinters are the
clear choice.

Printer throughput
specifications will always
have a few disclaimers.
Here's ours :

1. Printer throughput is
dependent on the size of the
files you are trying to
print. If the files are so
large that the driving
computer can not get them
processed as fast as the
printer will print then file
or image processing becomes
the bottleneck and the
printer throughput will not
match the numbers below.
2. If the driving computer
is slow, or overburdened, or
lacks sufficient free disc
space then even if the files
to be printed are not overly
large, the computer will not
be able to process and ship
the files as fast as the
printer can print them and
the throughput will not
match the numbers below.

300 Disc AutoPrinter with
Prism.

Someone with good math
skills and attention to
detail is bound to ask this
question - so here is the
question and the answer :

"If the Everest II printer
prints an image in one
minute (normal mode) and if
it then takes several
seconds to place a printed
disc in the carousel,
several seconds to pick up a
blank disc, and several
seconds to place it on the
printer tray for the next
image - how can the
AutoEverest II system print
60 discs per hour?"

Good question! As discussed
on the Everest II page, the
printer prints the disc
image to a clear retransfer
ribbon and then in the next
step uses heat and pressure
to bond that image to the
disc. In the AutoPrinter
mode, as soon as one disc is
finished and the tray comes
out, the Everest II begins
to print the next image to
the retransfer ribbon. So,
while the robotics are
moving things around the
printer is working on the
next image - in effect -
overlapping tasks to
increase system throughput.
Thanks for asking!
